Kangaroo rats are small rodents that measure up to 30 cm in length, have long tails and powerful hind feet. They live in grasslands and brush-covered slopes with gravelly soil. Their diet consists of grass, seeds, and gravelly soil, and they have adapted to the hot climate by burrowing underground during the day and emerging at night, using their fast feet to evade predators.
